This isn't right. This isn't right! I'm supposed to be in another universe! These are supposed to be my characters! What the heck is happening?
I know: They're just messing with me! It's a gag... yeah! These guys like to play gags on each other! And now they're having a go at me!
But... Tirri's hair... uh, feathers... nuh, wig... and Mark's skin was... and I don't have an agent! Where are they getting this stuff?
Okay... okay... maybe the MQRBDTMOT took me to the wrong brane... I'm in the... the Bizarro Brane, or something! I took a wrong turn! I gotta see if I can get back to where I'm supposed to be, or--
"Steve?"
Gah!
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. Did you get through to Diane?"
I'm, uh, still... you know, answering services... I left a message, so I'm waiting for her to call back...
"Well, I just wanted to thank you for trying to straighten that out. And for the opportunity to be in The Lens, of course! I mean, after a while, you get tired of the stupid horror movie roles, all making you get half-naked before the monster eats your head, and all... y'know? It's so nice to be doing something more legit... and with a better message for kids than 'don't go out naked alone in the woods'."
Yeah...
"So, any idea when Diane will get back to you?"
You know, I'm gonna try her again... maybe I can get her on the way to... wherever she is... I have her private number, but I usually don't try to call it unless--
"Um, Steve? You're holding that key fob."
I am? I am! Ah! Well... I figured, if I couldn't get Diane over here, that I might have to... go and see her myself! And get this straightened out! After all, I wouldn't want you guys to be screwed just because I couldn't track her down.
"That's really straight up, y'know? Thanks again, babe!"
...Okay: She kissed me on the cheek... so I know I'm not hallucinating. But I gotta get outta here! Come on... call up the MQRBDTMOT manual... there. Okay, turn this like that... align vertically... and press--
ooohhhhhh...
